There are a couple of things I always take with me, wherever I go: a small, battered camera, and my passport. My backpack is always as heavy as I can carry it; and just the right size to fit in whatever trunk compartment I find. I have walked in these shoes for the last year; and they’ve been loyal companions through sunny days and rainy nights. Memories don’t weight me down. They help me soar. I’ve acquire, in last three months or so, an old recorder, which I’m using to tape my favorite places - and my favorite people. Sometimes, they don’t even know me… it’s okay, though: they’ve changed me, and that is enough for me to love them. The old lady who sells seeds at the market. The little girl with a crazy loud laugh. The handsome man who looked my way with a little smile. When I met them, everything changed: that specific moment in time defined my day - before, I’ve never seen them; now, they’re engraved in my mind. Two seconds, and the world’s not the same anymore. I’ve met this girl at a hostel, once, who said that we only need ten seconds to fall in love. I still don’t agree with her entirely, but now I believe it’s possible. Life flows. So travel light. Live free.

Os olhares vêm de todos os lados. São olhares que avaliam, calculam. Sinto-me objeto. Taça. Caça. Sinto-me nua. Crua.
(Não tira o batom vermelho)
Eu sussurro pra mim e me ouço muito distante: quantos passos até chegar em casa? Quantas horas até o suspiro de alívio? Gostaria de estar sozinha No quarto, trancada. Cabeça baixa, punhos cerrados.
Não tira o batom vermelho
Eu digo para mim mesma e me ouço mais perto A cabeça levanta Os olhos também
every autumn, tens of millions of monarch butterflies travel to their ancestral winter roosts in mexico’s mountain fir forests, coating the trunks of the trees in the orange of their wings, and causing the branches to droop under their collective weight.
surfing winds from southern canada and the northern united states, and taking directional cues from the sun and magnetic poles, they travel 4,500 kilometres over two months to reach their hibernation grounds — a feat that still remains a bit of a mystery, but which has been going on for millions of years.
interestingly, the autumn migration south is accomplished in one generation, which lives for about seven months, while the spring migration north is done over three generations, each living about six weeks.
last year’s migration, however, was the lowest on record, as excessive herbicide usage has reduced the supply of the milkweed plant which the monarch larvae rely on to feed, and which makes the monarch caterpillars toxic to predators. but the plant is now being destroyed from heavy use of roundup ready pesticides used in soy and corn crop production.
further complicating matters for the monarch is climate change, as drought along their migratory route has exacerbated milkweed decline, and colder spring temperatures has meant the temperature-sensitive cold-blooded butterflies are unable to begin their journey north.
and once they reach their hibernation sites in mexico, the butterflies, which rely on a thick forest canopy for protection from the cold and rain, encounter deteriorating forests from illegal logging.
experts, however, are hopeful that this year’s migration will double or triple, thanks in large part to the conservation efforts of the mexican government. nevertheless, this increase would still put monarch numbers at one tenth of their record high of one billion.

“Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, and so they give their lives to little or nothing. One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it…and then it’s gone. But to surrender who you are and to live without belief is more terrible than dying – even more terrible than dying young.” ― Joan of Arc
